spin on the new express lane. >> reporter: for most of the beltway, this roadway offers four lanes of traffic in each direction. but now in virginia, for about a fifth of the total beltway, there are 12 lanes of traffic. the extra lanes were paid for privately and for solo drivers this will be a toll road. the tolls will be collected electronically using the e- zpass system. if you have accidently get on the express lanes without an e- zpass, don't panic. >> please don't turn around or try to cross the white barriers. you can visit 495expresslanes.com and you can pay that toll and a small fee on the web site. once you're in, take it to the next exit. >> reporter: what's the fee? >> the fee for the missed toll is $1.50. there are steeper fees if the operator has to chase you down sending a bill based on your license plate. tolls for solo drivers will
8:16 am
vary depending on traffic. it was cheap on opening day, but during regular rush hours, solo motorists could pay 3 to $6 for a one-way trip. so during rush hours will motorists pay the premium prices to use these new beltway express lanes? we asked a few. >> how much time will it save me? >> reporter: they say you'll go at least 45 miles per hour. >> well, i would definitely use it -- what was it, like last tuesday, was it, that the beltway was really messed up, and i definitely would have chosen them on that day. >> i would. >> reporter: you would spend the money? >> i would. just because my leisure time is very important to me. >> i'll use it if my time to get to my work, like early or on time. >> reporter: will you pay that price to get there quicker? >> i would. >> reporter: you would? >> but i don't think the ordinary person would. it depends where i was going.
8:17 am

8:21 am
wal-mart employees may walk out on the job on black friday. some, but not all workers are planning the protest. the idea is to push the chain to give workers better pay and benefits by making their point on a very busy day. >> a lot of them that have to work might not walk out, but a lot of them are proud are going to walk out. >> it's not clear whether any stores in our region will be affected. wal-mart is among the stores that will be opening earlier than normal. no doubt millions of shoppers will be looking to cash in on
8:22 am
the deals. >> reporter: every year people line up early to get the black friday sales. but this year black friday is starting on thursday, and stores will be opening earlier than ever. >> they want to shop early, they want to shop early. >> reporter: for the first time, wal-mart, sears and toys "r" us will open at 8:00 p.m. on thanksgiving night. target will open at 9:00. best buy, sports authority, macy's and kohl's at midnight. that's more stores opening on thanksgiving than last year and earlier hours, showing the competition for your dollars. >> other places are doing it, you'd better do it, because otherwise they won't have money left when it comes time for your opening. >> reporter: some shoppers are thrilled. >> i think it's a good thing, because you don't have to wake up at like 3:00 in the morning and wait in line in the code. >> reporter: others think it's a terrible idea. >> i think it's a shame. i think it's like, there are special days out of the year and i think that's one of them. >> reporter: many want to save holiday as a time to spend with
8:23 am
family. >> want to go shopping on thanksgiving or have turkey? >> i want to have turkey. >> reporter: online petition on change.org asks target to save thanksgiving by not opening on that day. more than 170,000 have signed. one person calling the early opening a tad evil to make people work that holiday. but for many wanting one of those door busters prizes, it all seems worth it. >> that was kim posey reporting. last year the black friday weekend accounted for 11% of total holiday spending. coming up on fox 5 news sunday, a discussion on the deadly benghazi attack, and what members of congress learned from the closed door meeting with the former cia director david petraeus. plus, gwen will be back with a look at the weather.

8:26 am
8:27 am
8:28 am
>>briefing was comprehensive. i think it was important, it added to our ability to make judgments about what is clearly a failure of intelligence. >> we've still got to determine number one how did this group penetrate this -- the facility that we had in benghazi? and who were these folks? >> lawmakers react to the testimony of former cia director david petraeus on the
8:29 am
attack on the u.s. consulate in libya. the discussion focused on the talking points initially released on the attack that was reported by ambassador susan rice. it's one of the big topics today. chris wallace joins me now with a preview of today's program. >> good morning, melanie. >> president obama speaking in bangkok about the continued shelling in israel, saying israel has the right to defend itself. where do you see this going? >> well, obviously they have the right to defend themselves, and obviously if another country is raining missiles down on your people and killing some of them and throwing millions more into terror, you're going to respond. the question is, can they keep it at this level, where it's missiles and air strikes? are they going to have a cease- fire or a full scaled ground invasion? at the top of the hour we're going to be talking to two top
8:30 am
senators on national security issues, saxby chambless, joe lieberman, the chairman of the senate homeland security committee. obviously we were going to and still will talk to them about benghazi, but at the top of the hour we'll talk to them first of all about the situation in gaza. four years ago israel invaded gaza and ended up being blood ier than they thought. they killed over a thousand palestinians and there was a big international uproar over it. it's not an easy call for netanyahu and the israels to go into gaza, because it's hard to get out. >> there were questions about general petraeus would testify, he's the man with the answers. he finally did testify friday. do you feel like the congressmen got the answers they were seeking? >> i think they got some of the answers they were seeking. there were two things that seemed to have come out of the
8:31 am
petraeus testimony, and again we'll be talking to the two senators about that, because they were in some of these closed door sessions. first of all, petraeus says he always felt and in fact told congress when he testified back on september 14th that this was a terror attack. some of the congressmen who were in the earlier sessions said no, you were talking about the video and a spontaneous demonstration. there's a discrepancy about what he said then. we don't know because that was closed door as well. the other thing is, he says the cia talking points from the start talked about an al-qaida link, but that that was taken out and the reason that was taken out was not for political purposes, but because they didn't want to tip off some of these groups that they had intercepts, sources and methods of finding out what they were saying and doing and tracking them. if that's true, and we're going to talk to the senators about that, that would seem to get the white house off the hook and the idea they scrubbed this
8:32 am
for political reasons. >> going into your second topic today, we know republicans are doing soul searching. you'll be talking to governor jindal and governor scott walker. >> what's interesting about this is mitt romney held a conference call with some of his top donors this week, and you may have heard about it, where he said, listen, the reason the democrats won is obama and the democrats were giving, he said, gifts to hispanics and young people, pell grants, tuition aid, and things like that and obama care, that those were gifts. republicans like jindal fired back, can't divide the country, and the people who voted for democrats didn't just do it because they want things from government. there's really an effort to turn the page on 2012 as quickly as possible and try to reshape this party. we'll talk to bobby jindal and scott walker at the top of the
8:33 am
hour about that. >> lots to talk about. thank you so much for your time. >> you bet. >> you can catch fox news sunday at 9:00 a.m. after our show. video captured by nasa friday still making headlines across the web. this is incredible. this is the sun unleashing a monster eruption of super hot plasma. fortunately, it wasn't aimed at earth. if it had been, we could have experienced problems with communication, navigation and power systems on the ground. gwen, i am amazed first of all that we can get pictures like this. then when you think about the effects it could have on earth if it was aimed in the wrong direction, little scary sometimes. >> it is. dodging a bullet for sure. speaking of sunshine and plenty of sun, don't have a whole lot today. but we'll get some. let's take a look at our maps and show you what's happening
8:34 am
now. you can see some clouds streaming in. very high level clouds. throughout the course of the day those clouds will continue to increase and filter in through all of the mid- atlantic. we'll become mostly cloudy before it is all said and done. as far as temperatures go, yesterday's highs, close to where we should be. double 5s kicked in at reagan national, same at dulles. cooler at bww marshal at 53. definitely seasonal. we were spoiled a couple of weeks ago. 39 at baltimore currently, 34 manassas. 34 dulles. 32 at winchester. here's a look at your day planner. midday around 51 degrees. cool down a little bit into the later part of the early evening hours. becoming mostly cloudy throughout the course of the day. big football game happening today, typical football weather as well. we'll have those details and a look at the turkey day forecast. >> i would say that's definitely a big game.
8:35 am

it is truly the end of an era, the "twilight" franchise opened its final chapter this weekend. the franchise has gathered a legion of fans since 2008. fox5's kevin mccarthy sat down with the two leading actors and asked them to do a little role reversal. >> if you could drop the "twilight" cast into a classic film, who would it be? >> imagine them in "grease."
8:39 am
>> yes. >> i can imagine them in like "west side story" or something. >> how would bella interact -- >> i always imagine like before we did anything, let's do the musical version, and then we'll do our version, then we'll do a parody version. >> this process, in this particular series, you've gone through an emotional transformation. now breaking dawn, the physical transformation. what is the role you think you transformed the most physically and emotionally for? >> doesn't really describe -- it's so crazy to say you can be like a different person. it's always, you know, like you read something, and something about it surprises you about yourself. you go, i responded to something i didn't know i had inside of me. so making the movie is figuring out why you responded that way. i never felt like i was being somebody else. i found i was finding a
8:40 am
different aspect of myself. >> when your character wakes up as a vampire, she's stronger, and a down side, can't eat food. you have ups and downs as vampires. as an actor in this business, what are the up sides of being an actress, and what are the down sides? >> i've been working so much, and i love that. i would go -- i really love being challenged, especially right now. maybe-- i'm 22, definitely an age you want to use what you've got. you've got so much bubbling underneath the surface. you can let a lot out as an actor. so that's my favorite thing. i love feeling challenged at a young age. it's hard what finds challenging you in life. it's a lot of people's goals and it's hard to achieve. i'm really lucky for that. the down sides of being an actress in hollywood, it's weird, like, it's hard to be
8:41 am
specific about it, because you start to sound like you -- i mean, obviously i don't really know anything that loves paparazzi and stuff like that, but at the same time it's like, i don't care. it's so worth it. >> i love the line, where you say, i have a bad habit of underestimating you. have you ever underestimated yourself as an actor and said, wow, i pulled that off? >> i never felt that way through an entire movie. sometimes there are certain things which something comes out which you have no idea where it came from. it's like the best feeling in the world. >> any particular scene you can remember where you felt that way? >> in this there was a scene when bella dies, extremely nervous about it, because you can't do anything. can't cry, can't do anything. and you don't breathe. i think there was one shot
8:42 am
where i was like, something happened. i was doing it with a dummy of kristin. but i thought that was quite cool. >> kevin says breaking dawn is a great sendoff of the cloudy skies sendoff of the franchise and the best of the films. the bye week is over for the skins. now it's philly time. robert griffin iii vows to be a better quarterback the second half of the season. that's coming up in sports. >> i think mother nature is a football fan. she's serving up great football weather for today. we do clouds moving in. overall, not bad at all. we're going to see a day where it will be a little bit on the cooler side. here's a look out in silver spring. people are out enjoying the morning. we'll have a look at your full forecast coming up. stay with us. we'll be back after the break.

8:47 am
well. let's begin with a look outside. skies not too bad. a few clouds starting to roll in. will become mostly cloudy during the course of the day. this is a shot from silver spring, people getting out for a nice fresh walk this morning, or going to morning services, or just enjoying the morning as they might have the day off. relaxing on this sunday. not bad at all. our weather headlines begin with the fact it is going to be a pleasant day on tap. hopefully you'll get out and enjoy it. high pressure in control most of the mid-atlantic. seeing the clouds rolling in from the south. temperatures remaining close to seasonal. not too far off the mark there. watching for a coastal low. i'm going to talk about that as well and the potential the impact it may or may not have on us. reagan national airport yesterday, 59, same at dulles. bwi53 yesterday. these temperatures are a couple of degrees where we should be.
8:48 am
we're pretty close. the clouds will continue to increase into the course of the day. it will become mostly cloudy a little bit later on by this afternoon. you'll get to enjoy a fair amount of sunshine before that happens. currently, 42 at d.c. 44 fredericksburg. 34 at dulles. 33hagerstown. and 39 at baltimore. as we take a look at temperatures and put everything into perspective for you, the national picture showing big changes. not a lot of warmth across areas of the midsection of the country. you can see 30s to the west coast a little bit better, into the 40s. there's that warmer air that's down to the southeast is not going to filter up towards u.s.s., unfortunately. we are going to see temperatures stay pretty much on the cooler side, until we get to the later part of the week, and then we'll start to see changes there. definitely keeping an eye on the southeast coast. this is where we'll see a low pressure system develop and gradually push its way to the
8:49 am
north. what will it do for us? right now looks like it's only going to provide us with some clouds. that system is expected to bring rain showers to the carolinas and then veer out to sea. between this ridge of high pressure that's affecting us now and this low pressure system, we're going to get a northeasterly flow that will continue and that will help also to push the clouds towards us. other than that, right now it doesn't look like we're going to see rain from it. could be a few sprinkles over parts of central virginia. game today, 52 as we kick off at 1:00 today. mostly sunny, but the clouds will roll in. so by this afternoon, mostly cloudy conditions. about 51 degrees by midday. heading to the game, bundle up, because it will get a little cool with the northeasterly breeze. for today, 54 degrees, becoming mostly cloudy. light winds. tonight it will be cool as well. northeasterly flow from 5 to 10 miles per hour. accuweather seven-day forecast,
8:50 am
no precipitation across the board. thursday looks like a great day with mostly sunny skies if you're heading out to make sure you have your turkey dinner, guests coming your way, no problem at there. we warm up to near 60 degrees, upper 50s by the end of the week. so far it looks dry. the question is, with that system if it will bring a few showers or not, but now it doesn't look like it. >> thanks, gwen. i like that, good news. moving to sports, the wizards against the jazz trying to avoid a second 0-8 start. tied at 23. first half, crawford dribbles into traffic and loses the ball. williams tracks it down and lobs it to hayward, who will take it for the jam. utah wins 83-76. washington still winless at 0- 8. to college hoops now, george washington in boston for
